Replying to a commenter Canadian

Transcript

Happy Canadian says, I retired 10 years ago, and with the exception of travel, I really have nothing to show for it. And Happy Canadian is saying that in a positive way, saying, I don't need to have anything to show for it. And I think in that way, retirement's a little bit like death. We can't take it with us. So all of the things that we enjoyed in our career, we have to kind of like, at least I had to kind of let them go. I had to say, I'm no longer needed. I'm no longer useful. I'm no longer, you know, a quick, sharp problem solver, whatever it is I thought I was in my career. I had to leave it behind. And I think the concept of when you retire, you can't take it with you is as important as when you die, you can't take it with you. Otherwise, you're trying to hang on to all these things that honestly don't serve you at all in retirement. Most of what we learned in our careers is actually a detriment to a happy retirement. At least that's been my experience. And I found that like Happy Canadian, if I say, I don't expect to produce anything, gain anything, or accrue anything in my retirement, I'm happier for it. Well done, Happy Canadian.
